Bad Advice For A Good Time
Navigating Love's Art Deco Maze
Lyrics
You like to wear all the fancy things
You have a preference for luxurious items and accessories.
And make a list of your diamond rings
You compile a list of your valuable diamond rings.
But baby I'm the only thing you crave
The singer is asserting that they are the only thing the person desires.
Your style is so art deco
Your fashion style is reminiscent of the art deco period.
And I don't know if I can sing anymore
Uncertainty about the ability to sing due to the impact of the relationship.
Cause you have taken away
The person has taken away something vital from the singer.
My last breath
A metaphorical expression of the impact of the relationship on the singer.
You've given me bad advice, for a good time
The person has provided misguided guidance for the sake of enjoyment.
And we don't care how much
The couple is carefree about spending, confident they can recover the expenses.
We spend we'll make it again
An assurance that financial losses will be compensated for.
I need to know if you're with me now
A question about the person's commitment to the relationship.
Cause I am not just a face in the crowd
The singer emphasizes their individuality in the relationship.
You've given me bad advice, for a good time
Reiteration of the negative impact of the person's advice.
The golden braids that you always chase
Reference to desirable characteristics, possibly metaphorical.
So I would never feel out of place
An apology, asserting that the person is the singer's sole desire.
I'm sorry but you're the only thing I crave
The singer attempts to emulate a glamorous appearance.
I try to dress like I'm walking on red
An attempt to impress by dressing in a stylish manner.
And I have to see if I can take your breath
An effort to gauge the person's reaction or impact.
We both know how this is going to end
A mutual understanding of the eventual outcome of the relationship.
You've given me bad advice, for a good time
Repetition of the negative consequences of the person's advice.
And we don't care how much
Confidence in overcoming financial setbacks.
We spend we'll make it again
Reassurance about the ability to recover from financial losses.
I need to know if you're with me now
A repeated query about the person's commitment to the relationship.
Cause I am not just a face in the crowd
Emphasis on individuality within the crowd.
You've given me bad advice, for a good time
Restatement of the negative impact of the person's advice.
It's not like we need all of
Questioning the necessity of material possessions.
These meaningless tangible things
Disregarding the importance of meaningless tangible items.
They're here today
Acknowledging the transience of material possessions.
Gone tomorrow
Adopting a patient stance towards life's uncertainties.
We'll wait for whatever life brings
Awaiting the unfolding of life events with patience.
You've given me bad advice, for a good time
Reiteration of the negative impact of the person's advice.
And we don't care how much
Confidence in overcoming financial setbacks.
We spend we'll make it again
Reassurance about the ability to recover from financial losses.
I need to know if you're with me now
A repeated query about the person's commitment to the relationship.
Cause I am not just a face in the crowd
Emphasis on individuality within the crowd.
You've given me bad advice, for a good time
Reiteration of the negative impact of the person's advice.
You've given me bad advice, for a good time
Final repetition of the adverse effects of the person's guidance.
